Giles Christopher Coke (born 3 June, 1986 in London) is an English footballer who plays for League One side, Northampton Town.

Coke started his career as a youth player at Queens Park Rangers, where he was released to non-league side Kingstonian and was soon snapped up by Mansfield Town, and subsequently bought by Northampton Town in the summer of 2007.

His name was linked with several Championship clubs, including Southampton, Reading, Norwich City, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, Coke decided to remain at Mansfield for a further year, signing a new one-year deal with Mansfield in the summer of 2006. He signed for Northampton Town on 2 July 2007 on a two-year contract. [Cite news
